Internet Access on Baltic cruises.

Going on Celebrity Silhouette on Scandinavia & Russia Cruises Baltic cruise.

I am trying to decide whether to pay for internet.

Package or per minute or just live without?

On many cruises, internet reception very poor and slow.

How was the reception?

Good and fast? Or sketchy ,slow reception?

Any input would be appreciated.

Hi. We did this cruise in May/June this year and I bought the unlimited package at a discount on the second day of the cruise. I was reasonably happy with the coverage even though I was not able to use FaceTime, because the band width was not sufficient.

On a 15 day cruise, the system went down (for not so very long) on 3 occasions. Overall I was glad I had made the purchase, but I did make the comment on a couple of occasions that I was glad I was not on a limited package because there was a delay in connection.

I am joining the Eclipse again in September, but because we are visiting destinations I have already visited, I will probably buy a 240 minute package because I know I will find cafes ashore where I can get free WiFi. I did not find many such cafes on the Baltic Cruise, although that may be only my experience. Hope this is helpful.

We did the Baltic on Silhouette in June. The internet was fair. We each got 240 minutes for being in a Suite and Elite + and used all of our time. It depends on how much you really need it or want to use it. There is free internet at each of the ports, although it is also not very fast
